.Be it known that i, livin' D. Tuoi-ns noses, :L Citizen of the UnitedStates, iesieaing et ekland, in the county Ahmed-i 'snai State ofCalifornie? have ,invented certain. new und useful Improvements inApparatus for ireparing Can Ends for the Reception oit Ring-Liners, of,which the foliowing is u specification.

The present invention reist-es to an ep- )mretus for preparing sanitaryeen ends for the reception end retention of ring liners to be used uspacking between the adjacent iiunges of a joint or seein.

The object of the invention 4is to provide un apparatus foriii/7turning, reoessingA or oui-iing; the inneil bounding shoulder of eflanged can end in such manner that u portion of said shoulder willoNei-henn; u, portion of the iiange, und by sofioing Wili ietein e ringliner in positionupon seidfienge. The ineoliine is partioumly adaptedfor use upon con ends having a straight, oir non-curled innige, toprovide lupon suoli encis a means for hoifling or ieteining en eppiiering iinei' in position reietive'to sani iizinggfet v in order tocomprehend the inifentiong' rei ei'ence shouid be had to theaccompanying drawings, Wherein-d a Figure 1 is ye front elevation of thenies onine.

I do not wish to be construed as limiting the invention to the form andconstruction herein described and illustrated, inasmuch as many changesmay be made therein Without in any way affecting the principles et theinvention. lOn the contrary, ll Wish to be understood as claiming theinvention as broadly as the art Will allow.

Having thus described my inventiomvvhat I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent is l. A machine for forming shouldered andhorizontally flanged can ends prior to their reception of ring liners,tor the retention of such ring liners 'on the exteriors or" saidAshoulders, having in combination a rotatable member provided with a.convex continuous curling flange and a contiguous overhanging at flange,and a stationaryinember extend` ing partly around said rotatable memberand provided With a continuous concave curling flange opposite tothecurling flange of the rotatable member and provided with a llat facearranged at a distance from the planeof the said ila't flange equal tothe vertical thickness of a can end, said curling; flanges beingintermediatethe planes of said at ange and face.

2. A machine for forming shouldered can ends for the retention of ringliners on the exteriors of'said shoulders, having in com-- binationl arotatable member provided with a convex continuous curling flange and acontiguous overhanging Hat flange, and a stationary member extendingpartly around said rotatable member and provided with av continuous;concave curling llange opposite to the curling flange of the rotatablemem-4 ber and provided with a ilat face arranged at a'distance from thepla-ne of the said tlat ange equal to the vertical thiclme of a can end,said curling flanges beinginter# mediate the planes of said flat angeand face; said members beinginclined between vertical and horizontalplanes.

, 8. yA machine for forming shouldered can ends for ythe retention oiring; liners on the exteriors n bination'a-Litatable nieinber providedwith a convex :ontinuous curling flange and a contiguous overhangingflat angeg" and a stationary. member extending partly `around ,to thecurling;l flange of the oeltaid' shoulders, having.;r in eom- Leonesavsaid rotatable member and provided with a continuous concave curlingvange opposite rotatable inember and provided with a lat face arrangedat a distance from the plane or the said fiat flange equal to thevertical thickness of a. can end, said curling flanges beingintermediate the planes of said dat flange and face said flat tace beingextended to form a supporting slide for the can ends before liey enterbetween the curling flanges.

4f. A machine for forming shouldered canl` ends for the retention ofring liners on tile exteriors of said shoulders, having in coinbinationa rotatable member provided with a convex continuous curling fiance'.and a contiguous overhanginp; i'lat flange, a stationary memberextending partly around said rotatable member and provided with acontinuous concave curling iiange opposite to the curling flange therotatable inem ber and provided With a flat tace arranged at a distancefrom tbe plane ol the said flat flange equalto the vertical thickness ofa can. end, said curling flanges being intermediate the planes of saidlet lange and face, and a conveyor acting to deliver can ends to saidflat lace.

A machine for forming shouldered can the retention of ring liners on theesteriore oli said shoulders, having in cornl-ination a rotatable memberprovided with a convex continuous curling ilange and a crtigaousoverlianging ilat flange, and a. stationary member extending pari-lyaround said rotatable member and provided with a continuons concave`Leerling flange opposite to the curling ange of tlie rotatable mem berand provided with e ilat face arranged at a distance from the plane ofthe said llat flange equal to the vertical thickness of a can end, saidilat tace being recessed opp@ site to the curling flange ot thestationary member, said curling. flanges being intermediate tlie planesysaid tlat dangle and fece.
